The Biopharmaceutical Lab offers vast experience in bioassays and protein chemistry, as well as a wide range of analytic techniques and lab equipment. It provides solutions in the field of analytical control of biopharmaceuticals, either using pre-established methodologies based on international guides and pharmacopeia, or developing new analytic tools in order to meet and follow bioanalytical strategies.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

Our assays follow ICH guidelines and the FDA and EMA regulations.<\/p>\n

      B) Institutional Technological Platform for Biopharmaceutical Comparability Studies<\/h4>\n

      <\/p>\n

      The current regulations and international guidelines establish new and rigorous quality requirements to demonstrate biosimilarity among the innovative products already existent in the market and its possible copies.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      These requirements are important in a potential biosimilar development stage, to generate scientific evidence supporting the quality, efficacy and safety of the biosimilar to be as close as possible to the reference product.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      The comparability study from which biosimilarity should be inferred consists overall in three steps:<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      \n 1) Physicochemical and biological quality comparability \u201cin vitro\u201d<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Complete characterization of physicochemical, biological and immunohistochemical properties of MBS and its comparison under equal conditions with MBR. Impurity profile.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Study and evaluation of the clinical impact of the existing differences.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      \n 2) Non-clinical comparability<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      It depends on the type of product and the similarity demonstrated in the comparability of Quality. It is evaluated case by case.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      In vitro studies: they are generally carried out during the comparability of Quality<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      In vivo studies of biological activity and toxicity. Non-clinical comparability and finally<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      \n 3) Clinical comparability<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      The health authority will define the need to carry out clinical trials<\/p>\n

      Safety Studies<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Immunogenicity Studies<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      The physicochemical and biological characterization is the analytical founding for the development and comparison of the possible biosimilars, and the amount of possible reduction for non-clinical and clinical comparison studies depends of the success in this first stage.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      We have experience in biosimilars head to head physicochemical comparability studies in our Lab, together with other platforms of the Institute, following WHO and EMA international guidelines. Besides the previously described assays, the analytical set for comparability studies include: binding assays, folding assays, characterization and quantification of molecular aggregates, thermal stability, and tertiary structure determination among others.<\/p>\n
